What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is characterized by uncontrolled progressive lung inflammation. Macrophages serve a key role in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS. Macrophage pyroptosis is a process of cell death releasing the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)‑1β and IL‑18. It was hypothesized that macrophage pyroptosis may partially account for the uncontrolled lung inflammation of ALI/ARDS. In the present study, greater macrophage pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑treated macrophages and the ALI/ARDS mouse model was observed. The expression of nucleotide‑binding domain, leucine‑rich‑containing family, pyrin domain‑containing (NLRP)3 and IL‑1β and cleavage of caspase‑1 were significantly elevated following LPS treatment accompanied by greater activation of p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in vitro and in vivo. However, blocking p38 MAPK signaling through the inhibitor SB203580 significantly suppressed the acute lung injury and excessive lung inflammation in vivo, consistent with the reduced expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL‑1β and cleavage of caspase‑1. Pretreatment of the rat NR8383 macrophage cell line with SB203580 significantly decreased the population of caspase‑1+PI+ pyroptotic cells and expression of NLRP3/IL‑1β. However, a larger population of Annexin V+PI‑ apoptotic cells was observed following blocking of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. The results indicated that blockage of p38 MAPK signaling pathway skewed macrophage cell death from proinflammatory pyroptosis towards non‑inflammatory apoptosis. These effects may contribute to attenuated acute lung injury and excessive inflammation in the SB203580‑treated mice. The results may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of uncontrolled lung inflammation in patients with ALI/ARDS.
